The latest volcanic eruption on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula has rapidly lost intensity, with no visible activity on Wednesday at the fissure south-west of Reykjavik. Only isolated glowing embers are to be seen in the lava field,

Tuesday's eruption also caused the evacuation of the Blue Lagoon spa, one of the country's top tourist destinations.
